  Start your run script with "s6-envdir env", and allow users to
modify variables in env ?

  It's also counter to the core design to inherit a service's environment
from the caller. The point is to make runs reproducible, so the
environment is always inherited from the supervision tree. Don't touch
supervisors, just have the run scripts get their environment from
somewhere in the filesystem and make your changes there.
